I'm scared

I hate this

No sleep

Wake up, work

No eat

Talk, be happy, be loving

Get over it

Your problems aren't problems

"You're being stupid, You're dumb. What is wrong with you"

There's always something, i always want more.

So i work, i sleep (barely, or too much) i study, i love, i try.

But nothing but feelings I'm just 'getting by'.

I take pills, they'll help, "they just make you feel numb".

Then why do i feel like i still need a gun?

Hi Sarahg94,

Thanks for sharing this with us.

It looks like you are tired - Physically and emotionally. And you have been missing a good sleep, food and someone who can actually understand your problems. But, regardless of all obstacles, you have been doing great.

It's very common for some people to not understand what other person might be going through and often make insensitive comments which can cause fear and anxiety. But you have come to right place, and I hope with the support of so many lovely beyond blue members you will be able to bring things back on track.

Hi Sara, welcome to BB and thank you for sharing

Your title says "I'm scared" ....depression is scary, and you are brave.

You came to the right place to express your feelings...this is a non judgmental environment and we understand and here to listen.

warm wishes

Hi Sarahg94,

That is an interesting chain and I'm wondering how many people could not relate to it.

Stop and just be.

What kind of problem is a valid problem?

Depends on what that gun signifies? power, control, end, danger, explosive change.
